We’ve been searching for the best mother’s day gifts and we think we’ve found what you’re looking for. Of course, the best gift you could give a mum is time to herself, a little pamper and some great food. However, these gifts will show your mum just how much you care, while ensuring you find the gift to suit her personality and to say thank you for being there.

If you don’t like the idea of a subscription this sterling silver and real diamond photo locket will make the perfect gift. It’s intricate yet strong, delicate and pretty and you can add the photos of you and your family so your mum always has you close to her chest. We found this one at the London Designer Outlet, specifically Chapelle.

The Best Mother’s Day Perfumes

There are so many perfumes on the market right now that it’s difficult to choose just one. My personal favourite is Black orchid by Tom Ford but I realise there are others that are also beautiful. For mum’s this mother’s day you won’t go wrong with these:

Marc Jacobs Daisy

Marc Jacobs has brought out new fragrances to expand on his Dot range. Each one is fresh and inviting, young and refreshing and the bottle design makes a perfect gift.

The fragrance gift set from joan Collins is decadent and sophisticated. Ideal for the mature mum we are loving the new Joan Collins range at the minute.

Deep and delicious this first fragrance from Monsoon is sure to become an everyday favourite for many women. One spray and you’ll see why.

A Little Perk

Extremely high quality and wonderfully fragrant, it fills the home with freshly ground coffee aromas, which is perfect. It’s from Cosy Glow.

Something Healthy

The Nutri Pro

My mum wanted a nutribullet for Mother’s Day, instead I found this one from Salter. It’s perfect and less than half the price. Let your mum join the blending craze and give her a gift that keeps on giving this Mother’s Day.

A Low Fat Fryer

Make mum’s life easier with this low fat fryer. This isn’t a sexist suggestion, many people on health kicks are snapping up these alternatives to the high calorie deep fat fryers of old. Mum, and Dad, will love it. This one is De Longhi Fryer it has a range of features and a 1.5litre capacity.

These shakes are delicious and pack a punch. At only 80 calories each and in a range of unique flavours, your mum will thank you for them. Fill your mum with the vitamins she needs and treat her to real nutrition, she can take them in her handbag to work, as the sachets are easily portable. We love them.

Back in Time

The Boombox from Groov-e

Finally, we can play our old mix tapes again. My, this took us back. We all dug out the compilations sent to us by lovestruck teenagers of the past. We love this and have had a lot of fun searching eBay for our favourite albums. The sound quality is incredible and of course we can stop the music mid song, while feeling smug that we’ll never need to put up with scratched discs. Any mum will love a trip down memory lane to listen to mix tapes this Mother’s Day. Buy her this!

A Good Night’s Sleep

Silent Night Hotel Bedding

I’m quite obsessed with hotel quality bedding these days. Since conducting our hotel awards I’ve been trying to imitate that luxurious feeling of stepping into fresh cotton bedding. We’re currently trialling a lot of hotel quality bedding from Casper and HEPA but think these pillows from Silent Night are the perfect base to start from. These will ensure all your bedding feels as good as it should while giving the best support so your mum can drift off on a cloud of love!

For the Single Mum

Fit Men Wanted

This fine bone china mug is eye catching and cheeky. From the IWM, Imperial War Museum, it actual refers to call outs for men to join up during the war. Either way, it’s cheeky, and a good size for a morning coffee. We love it.

We will be keeping a close eye on Monique Hart and we’ll let you know what else we find!

We love the Wonder Woman range from Warner Bros and think it makes the ideal gift for Mother’s Day.
